Review on Asvine Blue Forest Fountain Pen Fine Nib, Classic Design With Converter And Metal Pen Case, The Light Of Hope Serise by Jill Lawrence

Hong Dian Black Forest Series Fountain PenI recently bought this fine nib pen along with a 3-pack (10 cartridges per pack) of black ink cartridges. The pen arrived very quickly and was well packed. It came in a silver-colored metal box which included the pen and a nicely made cartridge converter. I was very impressed with the looked of the pen. It is a completely black anodized pen, including the nib. It has a checkered barrel which feels very nice in the hand when the pen is used.I have been using the pen as a daily carry since it arrived. I am using the HongDian black ink cartridge. I really like this pen. It is definitely heavier than a lot of pens I normally use but not excessively heavy. It is also a slim pen, which I like. I am not fond of big, fat fountain pens that feel like one is writing with a nibbed cigar.I really like this pen. It writes very smoothly. It is a wet writer but that could also be a quality of the ink, too. I have not tried the ink in any other pen because the cartridge is specific to HongDian pens. The pen comes with a cartridge converter that will let you put in any fountain pen ink of your choice. The converter is well made and not flimsy at all. It turns very smoothly. It uses a small, tightly wound spring to help regulate the ink flow, unlike some pens which use one or more ball bearings for ink flow regulation. The cartridge converter just pushes in and fits snugly. There is no worry that the converter will fall out unexpectedly.As noted above, this pen is a metal pen and a bit heavier than plastic or acrylic pens with the same dimensions. I did not find that the weight of the pen was a problem during long writing sessions. It is well balanced, posted or unposted. The pen is long enough to write with it unposted without issue. Although I normally do not post the pen cap on the back of the pen, I did try it with this pen, and it felt well-balanced, if a bit heavy compared to what I am used to. Unposted, the pen is extremely comfortable to use for long writing sessions.So far, I have had no problem writing with this pen. It writes every time I pick up the pen to write with it. There is no problem with any
